Bursting from the pages of Jennifer Blood: Meet the Ninjettes! These college-age women were taught to fit the Profile - forced to become deadly and expendable assassins. But who created the Profile? Why were they selected to be its latest deadly operatives? And who will they kill first - their targets, or each other? It's all-out action from writer Fred Van Lente and artist Joseph Cooper!

I'm guessing she'll be one to survive, although I doubt that I can to stick around long enough to find out the outcome. Read Full Review
